![[F-ZERO GX + AX.png]] # Overview *F-ZERO GX* is the greatest entry in the cult-classic *F-ZERO* franchise. Made by *Nintendo*, this game was released for the *GameCube* in 2004. *F-ZERO AX* is an arcade-only entry in the franchise, also released in 2004. AX is contained within the game files for GX, though it is inaccessible normally. Themod below is capable of converting a standard *F-ZERO GX ROM* into an *F-ZERO AX ROM*. Keep one copy of each ROM to be able to play either mode whenever you like. # Modding > [!TIP] [Enhanced AX mode](https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/6857/) > This patch aims at bringing the AX mode in F-Zero GX as close as possible to the actual F-Zero AX arcade game. > > What’s changed: > > - Ralf’s AX mode IPS patch was applied to the Start.dol executable. > - The background for Green Plant in the main menu was replaced with the one from AX. > - The main menu music was replaced with the one from AX, which sounds slightly different. > - The missing music from AX was added to the ISO. The Attract Mode and the Pilot Points menu after the race are never silent anymore. Nothing else was required in order to get it to work, as the game is coded to try to play those songs, even though Nintendo removed them from the GX ISO. It is also possible to use AR/Gecko codes in order to play other AX-exclusive songs.
